Things To Do
Gillian's Wonderland Pier
For those with kids or those that are kids at heart, make sure to stop by the place that served as Natalie's and Brent's childhood summertime playground! The Musik Express, the carousel, bumper cars, a glass house, a log flume, a tilt-a-whirl, and many more rides all call this pier home. Just make sure to avoid the Musik Express the morning after the wedding...
Playland's Castaway Cove
For those seeking a bit more thrill than Gillian's Wonderland Pier has to offer, look no further! See if you can brave the pirate ship that terrorized Brent's childhood or conquer those crazy swings, just don't ask the bride to join you on them!
The Beach
Enjoy the beautiful Ocean City beach before the tourists arrive in droves! June 10th weekend will allow you to soak in the rays without all the crowds. However, this is New Jersey folks, so either be ready to cough up $10 for beach passes or do what Brent used to do and just jump in the water anytime someone in a fluorescent shirt comes snooping around.
The Boardwalk
Of course, do not forget to walk the famous OC Boardwalk! While doing so, be sure to stroll by the Original Fudge Kitchen for a free sample, dare to venture into the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, swing by the fudge shop for another free sample, stop at Kohr Bros for soft serve (ask for the jimmies), and then cap it off with one more piece of free fudge... or two.
Tee Time Mini Golf
Hands down the most creative mini golf course at which the bride and groom have ever played. See if your resolve is tough enough to withstand having your shot bounce off a rotating octopus tentacle for the third time in a row... Brent's often is not.
Manco & Manco Pizza
Try the classic Ocean City slice! Plus, for those coming from out-of-state, this will be an instant conversation starter you can use to meet the local wedding guests. Just start by saying you tried Manco & Manco and then ask them why they're correcting you on the name.
